The short answer

India's foreign-asset disclosure has no minimum value. Disclosure sits in a dedicated schedule of the return and is tested against information India receives automatically from foreign institutions.

Who this applies to

  • Your Indian accounts still carry your old residency status
  • You are an NRI with Indian property, deposits or investments
  • Tax was deducted at source in India before the money reached you
  • You are returning to India after years abroad
  • You hold foreign assets and are, or will be, an Indian resident

If any of that is familiar, keep reading. If none of it is, the shortest route is to describe your own situation and let us name the right page for it.

The team at work in the open-plan office

What schedule fa — reporting foreign assets in an Indian return costs here

Schedule FA is priced by the number of foreign accounts, holdings and signing authorities to be disclosed and the number of years being brought current, since the schedule is completed asset by asset with each one's opening, peak and closing position converted for the Indian year.

NRI Indian return (ITR-2) — fixed-fee price

From $349

fixed, quoted before work starts

The Indian return on India's own year, reconciled against the department's information statement, with treaty relief and the deduction-at-source credits properly claimed.
See the full fee page

T1135 foreign property filing — fixed-fee price

From $349

fixed, quoted before work starts

The Canadian foreign property statement built on cost amount, in Canadian dollars, across everything the test reaches — including holdings people assume are excluded.

Individual tax filing

From $349

fixed, quoted before work starts

Returns for people whose tax position did not stay in one country, including the years residence itself is in question.
See the fee schedule

Foreign asset & information reporting

From $349

fixed, quoted before work starts

The reporting obligations that attach to owning something abroad, worked out from your holdings rather than from the tax return alone.
See the fee schedule

Non-resident & departure filings

From $349

Missed years brought current under the disclosure programme that fits, with the penalty position worked out before anything is filed.

The mechanism, in plain terms

India's foreign-asset disclosure has no minimum value. One overseas account, one foreign share, one signing authority over someone else's account — all of it is disclosable.

Disclosure sits in a dedicated schedule of the return and is tested against information India receives automatically from foreign institutions. Non-disclosure is dealt with under a separate statute with its own assessment powers.

That mechanism has a practical edge to it: it rewards preparation and punishes discovery. A filer who maps the obligation before the year ends is choosing between options; a filer who finds it afterwards is usually choosing between remedies.

Thresholds and rates move, and summaries written for last year are not evidence about this one. So each figure in your file is sourced to the issuing authority for the specific year; anything we cannot source, we describe as a mechanism and leave unquantified until it can be confirmed. See also fdi routes, fc-gpr and fc-trs compliance and black money act disclosures (India).

What we actually file

  • Responses to scrutiny and reassessment notices
  • The Indian return on India's own year, reconciled to the department's information statement
  • Lower-deduction certificate applications before the transaction
  • Remitter declarations and accountant certificates for repatriation
  • The Canadian or US return that reports the same income

Worked through with figures

Worked through with figures, the mechanism looks like this.

Deduction on the price against tax on the gain

An NRI sells Indian property for ₹32,800,000 with an indexed cost of ₹13,448,000. Assume the buyer must deduct at 13% of the consideration, and assume tax on the gain at 12%.

ItemAmount
Sale consideration₹32,800,000
Cost taken into account₹13,448,000
Gain actually arising₹19,352,000
Deduction on the consideration (assumed 13%)₹4,264,000
Tax on the gain (assumed 12%)₹2,322,240
Cash held back beyond the real tax₹1,941,760

₹1,941,760 more is deducted than the transaction actually owes. A lower-deduction certificate obtained before closing is what releases it at the table; without one it sits with the department until a return recovers it. We run this on your actual numbers before advising anything, because the conclusion can invert with a modest change in inputs.

Treat these numbers as a worked example rather than advice — they exist to make the mechanics visible, and the rates and thresholds are assumed for the illustration. For a real filing, we verify each figure with the authority that publishes it, for your year.

From first call to filed

  1. 1A call to our 24-hour helpline to establish the facts and the dates that matter
  2. 2A written scope and a fixed fee before any work starts
  3. 3Preparation, then a named reviewer's sign-off before anything is filed
  4. 4Filing, then payment — after you have seen and approved the result

The fixed fee

You get a number before you commit, not an estimate that drifts. The scope is written down, the fee is fixed against it, and if the scope changes we re-quote rather than invoice the difference. Comparable engagements and their fixed fees are set out on the pricing pages.

  • A change of scope is re-quoted before the work, never added to the invoice after it.
  • We will tell you when you do not need us, and that call is free.
  • Every statutory figure in your file is verified for your own year at source.

Where to go from here

If a letter prompted this, bring the letter — it usually contains the answer to half the questions. Start with the dates. Arrival, departure, transaction, notice — whichever applies. Once those are fixed, the filing set and the fee follow quickly, and you will know both before committing to anything.

schedule fa — reporting foreign assets in an Indian return: How we read this one

Disclosure sits in a dedicated schedule of the return and is tested against information India receives automatically from foreign institutions.

The engagement terms hold no matter what the analysis finds — fee and scope agreed in writing up front, a named reviewer on the output, your approval before the finished work is filed.

Fixed fees around schedule fa — reporting foreign assets in an Indian return

Where earlier years were filed without the schedule, the work changes: the returns have to be revisited, and the position India already holds from foreign institutions has to be matched before anything is refiled. Whether it is a first disclosure or a correction is the question that moves the fee.

NRI Indian return (ITR-2)

$349fixed, before work starts

Covers: The Indian return on India's own year, reconciled against the department's information statement, with treaty relief and the deduction-at-source credits properly claimed.

What makes it bigger: Property and capital gains together. Rent with deduction at source is routine; a property sale in the same year brings computation, indexation and often a certificate application.

See this fee page

T1135 foreign property filing

$349fixed, before work starts

Covers: The Canadian foreign property statement built on cost amount, in Canadian dollars, across everything the test reaches — including holdings people assume are excluded.

What makes it bigger: Missing acquisition records. The statement is tested on cost, so a holding bought fifteen years ago in another currency has to be reconstructed before it can be reported.

See this fee page

India–Canada dual filing (ITR + T1) — India desk price

$349fixed, before work starts

Covers: Both returns as one engagement across two mismatched fiscal years, with the Indian deduction at source reconciled and the Canadian credit claimed where it is usable.

What makes it bigger: The fiscal-year mismatch multiplied by income streams. Each stream has to be mapped from India's year onto Canada's before the credit can be computed.

Cross-border is the whole practice

International and cross-border tax is all we do — not a sideline next to domestic work. The edge cases on this page are our ordinary Tuesday.

The fee is fixed before we start

Quoted from your documents and agreed in writing. The number you accept is the number you pay.

One team, not two firms billing separately

You are not the go-between for two sets of advisers with two sets of assumptions. One engagement covers each country the file touches.

Late and missed years are ordinary work

An unfiled history is not a reason to wait longer. We assess what is still open and what relief the delay attracts before the first return goes in.

Cross-border tax case studies

Case study 1

Gains on Indian Shares Held From Abroad

Holding period and instrument decide the character of the gain, and the deduction at source applies before any of that is considered. The return is where the position is corrected.

Read how this one runs
Case study 2

A Foreign Property Form Filed Late, With Penalties Running Daily

The foreign asset return carries a penalty that accrues per day rather than per return, so the exposure grows quietly. Relief is discretionary and it is granted on the reasons given, which means the request is the work rather than the form.

Read how this one runs
Case study 3

An Estate Using Its Graduated Rates in Time

The favourable rate treatment an estate can access is time-limited and conditional, and it is lost by administration rather than by decision. The file identifies the window and the filings that keep it open.

Read how this one runs
Case study 4

Tax Deducted When Buying From an NRI

Withholding on a sale by a non-resident is applied to the sale value rather than to the gain, so it routinely exceeds the tax due. A lower-deduction certificate obtained before completion avoids locking the difference up.

Read how this one runs
Case study 5

A TFSA That Costs More Than It Saves

Canadian tax-free accounts are not tax-free to a US person, and some of them carry a reporting form of their own. The file is a review of what is held, what each account triggers on the US side, and whether the account is worth keeping once the reporting is priced in.

Read how this one runs
Case study 6

An Indian Company Paying a Foreign Supplier

Payments abroad carry deduction at source and a certification filed before the money moves. Whether the treaty reduces the rate depends on what is being bought, and the classification is the decision the whole filing rests on.

Read how this one runs
Case study 7

A Company Abroad Owned by a US Person

A business incorporated where the owner lives is a foreign corporation to the IRS, with a reporting package of its own and schedules that need local accounts restated. Classification comes first, because it decides what is reportable and when profits are taxed.

Read how this one runs
Case study 8

A Canadian Employer With Staff in the United States

Employing someone in the US creates federal and state obligations that begin with registration, not with the first return. Which states are engaged is decided by where the work happens rather than where the company is.

Schedule FA — reporting foreign assets in an Indian return — questions we are asked

Schedule FA — reporting foreign assets in an Indian return: how much of this can I do myself?

Some of it, yes — and we will say so on the call if that is the honest answer. The parts that are worth paying for are the ones where a missed election, a missed deadline or an unverified threshold costs more than the fee: disclosure sits in a dedicated schedule of the return and is tested against information India receives automatically from foreign institutions.

What if I have already filed and got it wrong?

That is a common starting point. We re-derive the position, identify whether an amendment or a disclosure route is the right vehicle, and tell you which one preserves the relief that is still available. The order matters more than the speed.

How long will it take?

It depends on the documents rather than on us. Once the pack is complete most filings turn around inside a fortnight; anything that needs a certificate from a tax authority runs on that authority's timetable, which we tell you at the start rather than at the end.

What happens if I have not filed for several years?

Missed years are handled as one package, not one at a time, because the route chosen for the first year determines the relief available for the rest. Each country has a disclosure or relief programme with its own conditions, and entering the right one — before the authority contacts you — is usually what keeps penalties down. Filing quietly outside a programme forfeits that protection. See catching up on missed returns.

How do I get a refund of TCS collected on a foreign remittance?

You claim it on your Indian return for that year. The collected amount is credited against your total tax, and if it exceeds the tax due the balance is refunded like any excess payment. Two practical conditions: the collector must have filed its statement so the credit appears in your annual tax statement, and your PAN must be correctly recorded on the remittance. A salaried remitter can also ask their employer to account for it against salary withholding. See LRS limits and TCS.

Is moving money between my own accounts in two countries taxable?

Moving your own capital between your own accounts is not itself income, so the transfer is not what creates tax. What can create tax or reporting is the income the money earned before it moved, a foreign-exchange gain on certain holdings, and the reporting obligations the balances themselves trigger — foreign account and asset reports keyed to balances rather than income. Remittances out of some countries also need certification before the bank will send them. See foreign account reporting.

Will you tell me what I could have done differently?

Yes, including where the window has closed. Knowing that a step was available last year is the reason next year is cheaper.

Do you use software I need to learn?

No. You send documents through the portal and receive the finished filings back; everything else happens on our side.
